If you use Monit alerts, you can add a local alert filter like so to filter out timestamp events, same for other events

check directory tmp with path /tmp/
    if changed timestamp then exec “/restart/some/process.sh"
    alert [email protected] not on { timestamp }

Monit will still send the change event to M/Monit, that can’t be suppressed. If you use the 'if changed’ type check, M/Monit will first show orange for the status, but unless the timestamp was changed, it will show green on next report from Monit. If you use M/Monit for alerts (recommended and then the alert statement above can be removed) you can set it up to not alert on timestamp.
